"The Tragedy of King Lear" by William Shakespeare is a classic tragedy written in the early 17th century. The play explores themes of authority, family, loyalty, and madness through the lens of a monarchy in turmoil.

we witness critical conversations that foreshadow the impending chaos. Lear's intention to abdicate his responsibilities is met with manipulative responses from Goneril and Regan, while Cordelia’s honesty ultimately leads to her disinheritance.
